Preparation

Step 1

To make the pancakes, whisk the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Combine the mixtures and let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with melted butter or a non-stick spray. Pour 1/3 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes or until the edges look dry and bubbles form on top of the pancake. Flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side.

To prepare the syrup, combine the salted caramel ice cream topping, syrup, and salt in a medium-size bowl. When ready to use, add in the crumbled bacon. Pour syrup over the pumpkin pancakes.
